Augustana has landed Cameron Bartmann, a 6-9/250 C from Chicago St. Rita.

He is probably a bit of a "project"...but so was Micah Martin. If Bartmann commits to changing his body like Martin did, and working as hard, seems he could be that next Martin-type player.

Thanks for your recruiting updates!  Can you share your general sources?  You'll probably say "Twitter", but as a novice on that social medium, how does one gather such info?

This isn't college basketball explicitly, but Jusuf Nurkic of the Portland Trailblazers suffered a Chang-like injury last night against the Nets. While Nurk was on the ground with his leg already broken, a ref inexplicably tried to step over him and ended up kicking his already broken leg. Also, almost no one tried to help him right away. All of this said to show how fast the initial reaction actually was from both the Wheaton and NCC training staffs even though the ambulance decided to get lost on campus... I'm thankful for how both training staffs responded and did what they could to help Chang when he went down.

I am still amazed at how Chang has progressed with his recovery and pray the same for Nurkic as he's one of my favorite nba players and was currently having the best season of his career. Injuries are the worst...

The Wheaton trainer, NCC trainer, and the physician that came down from the stands when Aiden was injured were amazing. It took me a while to realize it, but my medical background later told me that in addition to his physical injuries that evening, that trio may have also prevented Aiden from going into shock which would have presented a second level of trauma with even potentially worse consequences than his orthopedic misadventure. The collective prayers and well wishes of the crowd were also palpable. Aiden is still very thankful for all the support.

Perhaps Greek doctors are still good; it's just getting the sick or injured to them that's the problem. ;)

On Cam Bartmann, I got a note from a D3 coach who always seems to be in the loop on who is going where.

You can definitely find a lot of stuff on Twitter.  From the home page, you can use the "Search Twitter" feature.  For example, type in "Illinois Wesleyan, basketball", and on the next page choose "Latest."  As you scroll down the tweets that come up, you will usually find things. 

As kids announce where they are going on Twitter, they generally always use the school name and "basketball." ("Excited to announce I am heading to Illinois Wesleyan to continue my academic and basketball career.") So that type of search usually produces some hits.

Bartmann looks like he needs to lose a lot of weight and to improve his mobility to be a competitive player in the CCIW, but you can't coach big, so best of luck to the young man.

What's Augustana's starting lineup going to look like next year? Even without Ebel, Orange and Benning, I wouldn't sleep on them. It looks like NCC is the (clear) favorite next season. I do recall a few years ago Augustana lost their top six or seven guys to graduation. Rebuild? Nope. They shared the conference title and went to the Final Four, I believe.

He played volleyball for me in junior high.  :D

And came within a blocked layup of winning the national title, too. While I'd probably agree NCC is the favorite based on what's coming back, the fact that Augie pulled that off makes me respect them as a contender still, even with them losing a bunch of their guys to graduation.

I think projecting Augie as anything lower than #1B is ignoring how well Double-G has been able to reload on an annual basis for the past decade.  North Central certainly has a lot coming back, but nobody else is standing still between now and November.
